[mapserver-users] Maplet on windows 2000 server

Tue Sep 24 08:38:59 PDT 2002

Hi,
  I am trying to run the maplet applet demo on Windows 2000 server. I have 
placed all the maplet files under
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\java\mapplet

when I tried to run the demo, I am getting black box instead of the image 
(the image is not loading). I checked the tmp file permission, it is 
read/write (my mapserver itasca demo is working good). When I run the demo, 
it is creating all the gif files under C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tmp but it is not 
displaying the image in the browser.

After installation, I have followed maplet howto 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/mapplet-howto.html) documentation. I 
changed the demo.html file as follows:

<head><title>MapServer Demo Interface</title>

       <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

         function mapplet_apply(name, minx, miny, maxx, maxy, redraw) {
           document.mapserv.imgbox.value = minx + " " + miny + " " + maxx + 
" " + maxy;
           document.mapserv.imgxy.value = minx + " " + miny;
         }

         function mapplet_error(message) {
           alert(message);
         }

       </SCRIPT>

</head>

and included the form name "mapserv"

<form name="mapserv" method=GET action="[program]">

and added the applet code

  <applet codebase="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\java\mapplet" code="mapplet.class" 
code="mapplet.class" width="600" >
     		<param name="image" value="http://localhost[img]">   //this one 
returns http://localhost/tmp/DEMO10328809432292.gif
     		<param name="jitter" value="10">
     		<param name="thickness" value="2">    		
  </applet>

and finally added two hidden files

<input type="hidden" name="imgxy" value="299.5 299.5">
<input type="hidden" name="imgbox" value="-1 -1 -1 -1">

Can anyone have any suggestion?

Thanks
